There's a key somewhere in the top right side of your keyboard that probably says something like "PrntScn" or something like that. Hit that and it immediately takes a snapshot of whatever's displaying on the monitor, then just paste it into a jpeg.

I know a lot of people who are like that. But to me, the desktop is my workspace. I actually USE it like a desktop. It's where I save all my files, to be organized later. It's where I keep my latest projects, or quick access programs. I try to keep it neat, and eventually everything gets put away... but I've never understood the point of keeping the desktop barren.

My friend has over 2/3 of his desktop covered with shit, most of which I'm certain he hasn't touched in years. I only like to have the essentials. If I have enough essential things to warrant using 2/3 of my dekstop, then so be it. That's not the case at the moment, though.

For instance, all those emulators on your desktop, Fox, I would just put in a 'Games' folder to simplify things.

I've had it that way before, but I kind of like having a gamer panel up at the top. It's non-obtrusive, and quicker to access. I mostly only keep it there for aesthetic value. Depending on my wallpaper, sometimes I'll drag them back to the "Games" folder.

I also like to keep a full icon panel on the left, so that when I save things to my desktop, they appear at the top of the screen, rather than at the bottom where the icons leave off (like they would on Megatheist's). I don't like to mix my standard icon set with temporary files. It's an OCD thing. If I have to have icons there, I might as well take up the entire column.
